MAS boat book due out April 1, 2011
Posted by PTConsultingNHR on Friday, January 21, 2011 2:26 PM

I just would like all of you to be aware of this;

Over the past two or three weeks, I've been closely working with my publisher on editing drafts of my MAS boat book. The draft which he sent to me late yesterday was also sent to an author who helped me greatly on the text and is one who I've grown to respect very much, and he said that it was an attractive work.

Additionally, Rear Admiral Maurizio Erteo assisted with the drafts as well as my writing and researching the text and getting me whatever data and photos for the book.

Whereas I cannot say it is the definitive work on the subject; that title can easily go to the books by CDR Erminio Bagnasco hands down and I will not put myself into his strata, I can say that you will be impressed by the work I've done.

That sounds like a book I would love to add to my library. I'll be looking for its release.

I'm certainly going to pick up a copy Garth.

My interests are both the Regia and ships.

The other day I picked up the Italeri model of the Miaile in 1/35, just because the figures are out of this world.

Do you have any info in the new book on those?

No sir, I'm sorry, I don't.  I focused only on the MAS and MS boats, BUT  ... There is a photo of a Mialle in front of an Italian Vosper in a museum setting in  the book if that helps.
